Title: Improvements in sectionalizer for electrical circuit-breakers
IPC: H01H3/34
Filed: 1966-10-18
Abstract: 1,109,757. Automatic circuit-breakers. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 18 Oct., 1966 [12 Nov., 1965; 16 Nov., 1965], No. 46431/66. Heading H1N. In a line sectionalizer circuitbreaker comprising a cylindrical housing 9, Fig. 2, pivoted at 15 in a hook casting 4 of a line terminal 8 and carrying a contact 12 for latched engagement as at 13, 14 in a latch casting 3 of a line terminal 7, the housing 9 contains a solenoid-actuated ratchet timer mechanism which releases a latch mechanism in the lower end to permit the housing 9 to fall free of the upper contact latch 13, 14 after a given number of overload pulses. The circuit-breaker is intended for use in a branch line in conjunction with an automatic recloser in the main line whereby after a given number of overload pulses from the recloser the branch line is isolated and permits the main line to continue in operation. The latch mechanism in the lower latch casting 11, Fig. 3, comprises an arm 20 pivoted at 18 and carrying trunnions 15 at one end for engagement in the hooked casting and retained by a latch 27 having a shoulder 25 engaging a roller 23 on the arm 20. Springs 24, 29 restrain the members in the latched position for release by a trip button 30 when engaged by armature of the solenoid. Downward swinging of the casting 11 is limited by a bumper stop 17. The solenoid actuated ratchet timer assembly comprises a hollow armature 37, Fig. 11, carrying an outer cup 38 and ratchet plate 39 the vertical movements of which indexes an arm 40 projecting from a casing 48 of a viscous damper through which a lost-motion driving connection is made to a central shaft 42 carrying a cross-pin 43. On registration of the crosspin 43 with a slot 44 the armature 37 drops to engage the latch operating button 30, Fig. 3. An arm 51 on the control shaft 42 is engaged by an arm 50 on a shaft 46 integral with the casing 48 of the viscous damper, the lostmotion providing for the required number of solenoid actuations prior to release. A slow motion return of the arm 50 is however provided by return coil spring 64 delayed by the viscous damper 48 when its central shaft 56, Fig. 9, is locked by a ratchet spring coil 57, whereby release takes place only when the solenoid makes the required number of actuations within a limited time.
Patent GB-465172-A (GB)
Abstract: 465,172. Calculating - machines. WEEKES, W. G. Nov. 2, 1935, No. 30284. [Class 106 (i)] Each key of a ten-key calculating-machine differentially rocks a toothed sector A pivoted at a3 and engaging a pinion B on a slidable shaft C, the shaft sliding one step after the setting of each digit of an item, pinions D on the shaft C thus coming in turn into engagement with totalizer pinions F. The pinions D are so spaced that the first engagement is between the units pinions D, F, the second engagement between the tens pinions D, F, and so on. The differential mechanism and the mechanism for sliding the shaft C are not described. The shaft C is carried in arms a<4> pivoted at a<6> and one of the pinions D is normally in engagement with a pinion F. The initial (actuating) movement of the sector A is anticlockwise. During the first part of the return movement, a pawl H locks the shaft C so that the arms a<4> are rocked to lower the shaft C and disengage the pinions D, F. The arms a<4> are latched in this lower position by a latch K rocked clockwise by a spring M when the end of the latch leaves a hole in the arm a<4>. A stop (not shown) fixed to the frame then trips the pawl H and the sector A completes its return (clockwise) movement, at the end of which the sector lowers a link L to rock the latch K which again enters the hole in the arm a<4>, the arm being rocked upwards by means not shown to move the shaft C to engaging position.

Title: Method and Container for Storing Dry Cells, and Flashlight Convertible from the container
IPC: H01M6/44
Filed: 1966-10-24
Abstract: 1,169,876. Packaging batteries. INSTANTLIGHT CORP. 24 Oct., 1966 [22 Oct., 1965], No. 47565/66. Heading B8C. [Also in Divisions F4 and H1] Power loss during storage of dry cells is avoided by enclosing the cells in a hermetically sealed container which may be evacuated or filled with moisture-free inert gas. The container can be converted into an electric battery lamp by removing an end closure and replacing it by a head in which is a lamp bulb and reflector with means for completing the circuit to the bulb. In one form, the metal container 10 includes insulating plates 21 between the batteries 18 and the ends of the container. A head 22 containing a bulb 30 mounted at the base of a reflector 28 is clipped to the lower end of the container. The mouth of the reflector is closed by a transparent plate 27. When the package is to be converted to an electric battery lamp one end of the container is removed, e.g. by peeling off a scaling strip 15 and the head 22 is mounted on the end. A conducting strip 31 connected to the shell of the bulb 30 extends towards the end of the contaner 10, which has two circumferenribs 35, 36. When the end of the head 22 is between the ribs contact between the base of the lamp and the battery branch 19 is broken. By moving the head so that its rim is below the lower rib 26, the base of the lamp is brought into contact with the terminal 29, the circuit between lamp and the case being completed by the strip 31. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 4 (not shown), the upper end of the container is closed by a sheet of resilient material such as polyethylene, latex or vinyl. Connection may be made with the cells within the container by terminals having needle-like projections which pierce the resilient material. The holes formed in the resilient material close when the projections are withdrawn so that the hermetic seal is not seriously impaired.

Abstract: 1,138,675. Gear finishing. GLEASON WORKS. 23 Oct., 1967 [20 Dec., 1966], No. 48089/67. Heading B3K. [Also in Division G1] In a sag compensator for a gear burnishing or lapping machine, the gear G is supported on a spindle 42 extending through a vertically slidable housing 20. The pinion P is mounted on a spindle 26 journalled in a housing 27 adjustable about an axis 29. Vertical movement of the housing 20 is effected by a screw 36 under the control of a rotatable dial 39. The weights of the gear G and arbor are then determined, and the distance A of their centre of gravity from the mounting face 51 of the spindle, and the distance B of the cone apex 53 of the gear from the mounting face are measured. The moment of the gear is determined and zeroized against the distance B on the scale of dial 39, thus altering the level of the housing 20 through rotation of screw 36 to compensate for the sag incurred by the spindle when the calculated torque is applied to the gear.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical signal memory circuits
IPC: H03K3/45
Filed: 1962-12-28
Abstract: 973,609. Matrix stores. NIPPON ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Dec. 28,1962 [Dec. 28,1961], No. 48751/62. Heading G4C. In a matrix array of memory elements, the read-in and read-out windings are threaded in different patterns so that the array can be employed for selectively delaying or re-arranging data applied thereto. The arrangement described comprises a three-plane magnetic core matrix memory, each plane having 16 cores as shown in Fig. 1, read-in column windings No. 1 to No. 4, read-out column windings No. 1 to No. 4, read-in row windings x<SP>1</SP> a<SP>1</SP> to x<SP>1</SP>d<SP>1</SP>, (collectively referred to as the X<SP>1</SP> windings), read-out windings xa to xd (collectively referred to as the X windings) and a winding YS, YT or YU threading all the cores of the plane. The read-out row windings xa to xd are straight row wires but the read-in windings x<SP>1</SP>a<SP>1</SP> to x<SP>1</SP>d<SP>1</SP> are selectively threaded in serpentine paths, winding x<SP>1</SP>a<SP>1</SP>, for example, threading cores a-1, c-2, c-3, d-4. A matrix 207, Fig. 2 having three planes similarly wired to that of Fig. 1 with respective plane windings YS, YT, YU, is employed to re-arrange sets of four data bits such as (0001), (0010), (0101), &c. applied to input terminal 201 which represents four parallel leads, each set of four data bits being applied in synchronism with a timing pulse on a terminal 202 which causes a circuit 203 to produce a "write" signal on leads 204 followed by a "read" signal on leads 205. Each "write" signals gates an input data set via amplifiers 206 to the matrix 207, and steps on a Y direction counter 208 so that successive data sets are stored in successive matrix planes. When a data set has been stored in the last plane, the Y counter 208 is reset to zero thereby stepping an an X direction counter 210 so that the matrix planes are again scanned successively but with different X and X<SP>1</SP> windings being effective. Since each "write" signal is followed by a "read" signal on leads 205, a read-in of data on an X<SP>1</SP> winding, say x<SP>1</SP>a<SP>1</SP> is followed immediately by a read-out of data on an X winding,xa. The data read out is, therefore, selectively re-arranged as compared with the data read in according to the manner in which the X<SP>1</SP> windings thread the cores.

Title: Method for anodically forming surface oxide coatings
IPC: C25D11/02
Filed: 1974-11-22
Abstract: 1496145 Anodizing coated subtrates AGENCE NATIONALE DE VALORISATION DE LA RECHERCHE (ANVAR) 22 Nov 1974 [23 Nov 1973 26 July 1974] 50762/74 Heading C7B [Also in Divisions G2 and H1] A substrate comprising at least one element A or a conductive alloy or compound thereof at least in those parts immediately subadjacent the surface and a surface deposit of at least one element B or an alloy or compound thereof is subject to anodization, the surface deposit being sufficiently thin to permit oxidation of the underlying A-layer. The substrate is either a metallic body or comprises below its parts subadjacent to the surface a base layer of a material (different from the A-layer) on an insulating support. Element A is Nb, Cr, Mo, W, Ti or V and element B is Si, Al, Ga, Ta, U or (when the substrate is a metallic body) Mo; A and B are not both Mo. The compound of B may be an oxide (which may be produced by anodizing before or during the inventive process), a silicide, Si 3 N 4 , AlN, NbAl 3 , Ga As or GaP. The substrate may be steel, Fe, Al, Si, Nb or Cu or a ceramic support bearing a Tabased resistance layer. Anodizing baths specified are NH4 borate in aqueous or glycol solution (for Nb coated with Si or Al), a solid polymer impregnated with electrolyte, or (for Nb coated with NbAl 3  or Nb Si 3 ) aqueous Cr O 3  or oxalic acid/ H 2 SO 4 /Cr 2 (SO 4 ) 3 . In this latter case the Cr compound adds to the hardness of the anodized layer and the bath may be the first in a doubleanodizing step in which the first bath dissolves partially the B oxide produced and the second is a non-solvent for this oxide whereby a porous B- oxide layer is formed, whose pores, at least at the side adjacent the substrate, contain A-oxide. Plasma anodizing may be used. In the case of Mo oxide coatings a subsequent thermal treatment is applied. It is stated that the A element migrates through to the substrate surface giving in the final product an outer A oxide layer, a B oxide or other compound layer and an inner layer of A which may be partially or wholly oxidized. In the case of a resistive structure substrate based on Ta, the inner A layer is wholly oxidized and anodizing is continued to oxidize the Ta subtrate to give a desired resistance value. Where A and B are of differing refractive indices anodizing is effected to difuse A oxide into the B layer until a desired index is reached.
